That's too bad, just judging it by the demo it looks like it's a very good
program, I like it's being a standard Windows window instead of the fluff
interfaces by the major selling programs.  Looking at Gambitsoft's prices though
, I'd say it costs too much money to have a good market.

With good distribution and a price about 1/3 (or less) of what it sells for now,
the thing might sell very well.
